    Dave,

    Can we please get a “fantasy” App for next year?

    It’s just not so friendly on a mobile device!

    Aside from that, so much better than 2011!

    Keep up the good work.

    Whenever I see this guy: 👿 , I always know that it’s Gkam84. I also seem to remember that he would be giving out false information last year with his massive post count as his credibility. 😕

    How about having a ‘team
    How about having a ‘team leader’ element added to the game? i.e. each stage you choose somebody to be your team leader and for that stage their score is doubled (like picking a captain in fantasy football).

    I would love to have .1 races
    I would love to have .1 races included! Maybe as a separate competition, or something, but that would add even more options!

    I already seem to be doing
    I already seem to be doing better than last year with my team BLACKFOOT MK.2.. wether this is down to knowing the riders better and knowing where to find previous results this year is debatable. fact is, i’m finding it easier to understand and use the game in this guise than last years. it’s still a sod though, because as mentioned above you cant have everyone you’d like!

    so far i’m happy! thanks dave. 😀

    In relation to the decisions
    In relation to the decisions about the star riders my personal opinion is that the game is now probably going to be won by someone who has the time to sift through every rider / stage and make decisions that way.

    It’s going to be a much harder game to win with people scoring big style if a lesser known rider gets away on his own and wins the stage.

    I like it better to be honest.

    As we’re only 21 days into
    As we’re only 21 days into 2012 and the season doesn’t end till 23rd Oct, i dont think it matters 👿

    Back to the OP – CarbonBreaker, what mobile device are you using?

    Been trying a few things all afternoon after “borrowing” the code from the site, it seems easier to make a mobile browser app for the game rather than a stand alone app, so if you had an android or apple, it seems easy to make it very mobile friendly by using a simple coding to change things slightly to relate to your phone :B

    precisely why I made the
    precisely why I made the point, to stimulate discussion, the game is going to be much more difficult. So stay the same or increase the pot??

    Yup the tours are going to be crazy.

    Fatty, the problem the comes
    Fatty, the problem the comes with having it the other way round, HOW are you going to afford them?

    At the moment, even if you pick the least value star riders for 5 of them, thats going to be 69.7 of your budget and if you hit the top end your 171.9

    I’m on the fence with the new star set up, I like that its a bit flexible, BUT with the limit still 2 riders per team, its going to be even harder to pick for the likes of the TdF, when you have Gilbert, Hushovd and Evans in the same team, where as last season, i could have them all

    Hushovd – PC
    Gilbert AR
    Evans – GC

    Then factor in (based on last years prices) that i would like Andy Schleck, Evans, Contador and Wiggo as my stars for the TdF, thats 141.1 giving me 8.9 to play with, going on the TDU this year, the cheapest DS is 2.5

    So its not going to be possible and thats just with 4 star riders, so making it 5, your going to have to have a stupid budget to start with, making it easier for other races outside of the grand tour’s to have all the top riders.

    I think the way it is at the moment, is a balance between the strict categories last year and something where you could pick riders from categories, but with some flexibility

    I was going to start a thread
    I was going to start a thread after the TDU was finished, on thoughts for the new game, and posting here although the 2012 wish list thread is still running, here we go then.

    The game is a pleasure to play, but is actually harder than the old game in my opinion, and will get harder. Why?

    Most important is the fact that in the old game we could choose 1GC, 1 PC, 1 KOM and 2 AR as you all know. The price we have paid is 4 star riders. Now in an easy race like the TDU or a day race like a classic, this is ok, but when it comes to the big 3, choosing teams is going to be hell. So my wish for 2013 is everything the same but 5 stars, 4 DS.

    Because of the strength in depth of the big teams and especially, Sky, Rabo, Radiotrek, Saxo etc, some of that is going to be done for us, because there are going to be a lot of great riders missing from the tours. The other reason for asking for 5/4 is that the cost of many riders has taken them into the star category, and very many of last years Ds have become stars, or are at the top end of DS.

    So good you had to post it
    So good you had to post it four times 👿

    A mobile app would be great, but its alot of hassle to develop one, have done a few in my time, but to cover both IoS and Android is a nightmare

    The fantasy site is loading just find on my tablet, not so much on my phone

    Depending on how the game is coded, it could be easy or impossible to make an app for it, I’ll have a look at it thought 👿
